Hire Car

Hire Car is a great option when visiting Straddie. If you are having an extended stay it allows you to see parts of the island the bus won't take you. Hiring a 4WD (and insurance?) opens up even more of the island to you. To drive on the beaches you need to purchase a 4WD permit from Minjerribah Camping.

 

Betta Auto Hire are the only hire car company that allow their cars to travel on the vehicle ferry. You can book a car for airport pick up via their website.
